Aston Villa has regularly watched the La Liga market since the arrival of Unai Emery, and they will do this again in 2025. And after they had signed Alex Moreno of Real Betis two years ago, they could now bring in another player from the Beaten UEFA Conference League finalists.
Last season, Jesus Rodriguez saw himself settling in the first team team of Manuel Pellegrini. The 19-year-old, who is able to play on both wings, was impressed by a series of strong performances, but he lost his place in the last weeks of the campaign and This was also the case for the UEFA Conference League final, who lost 4-1 to Chelsea.
Chelsea, next to Arsenal and Liverpool, have viewed Rodriguez in recent months, but he was now able to become a member of Aston Villa instead. As reported by ED, the Premier League side has registered their interest in signing the Spain U21 star.
Betis has to raise money this summer if they have to sign Antony van Manchester United again, and Rodriguez is a player who allows that money can be brought in. They are reportedly open for negotiations, which comes after RB Leipzig has submitted an offer in the region of € 20m.
It is probably more than necessary for Betis to accept a sale, especially since the player has a release clause in the region of € 50 million. Nevertheless, the fact that the negotiations may give his hope to Aston Villa, which will be besides Los Verdiblancos in next season's Europa League.
It is still to be seen whether Rodriguez is leaving this summer. He has shown a lot of promise since he was broken into in the first team, but, as was the case with Assane Diao, his betis willing to sell their breakout stars if it is deemed acceptable from a financial position.
